Why is it that shots on the camera screen....

OK, take a look at page 141 and 142 of your manual.

My guess is that it's set to Adobe RGB, and whatever software Windows uses to view them in the folder is using sRGB...


...

Read the thing on pg 142 and see if that sounds like what you're experiencing...

This. Either the OP has the worst monitor ever or it's a color space issue. 99% sure it's color space.

Of course, we could take all the guess work out of it if the OP would just upload one of the pics and a screenshot of how his monitor is displaying them.

Perhaps a combination of both. I'm don't have my camera or manual with me but when I get home well figure it out.

LMAO you are crafty.

He's got a netbook, not even a laptop. It likely has a TN type display, the worst kind for looking at photographs.

Laptops are notoriously poor for evaluating photographs, I can only try and imagine how much worse a netbook would be.

Apparently he hasn't read his camera user's manual either, since he doesn't know what color space his camera is set to, though it's very likely the camera is still set to the default color space which is usually sRGB.

I agree with Josh that the issue maybe color space related. Look at the ExIF data and see.

It's a big manual, and I do have other homework to do lol. Plus I have had the camera for 7 days now. Give me some time .

Im waiting on a heatsink so I can button up my recent build and finally fire it up and contrast monitors. I'm more than sure the monitor is the problem, along with the color spacing. I reviewed some images on my TV and they look 10x better.

Actually, not bad - from my experience.

I'm on an ASUS netbook right now. I AM using an external monitor (which is calibrated) though. BUT, when I compare my calibrated monitor to the netbook's monitor (at the factory settings), it is not that much of a difference. It's close enough that I would be comfortable editing photos on it, if it wasn't for the small size. Obviously, the OP's monitor may be totally different though...

The small screen would be much more of a hindrance to photo editing than any calibration issues. (And I could always just calibrate the netbook's monitor too...)
